The beneful could be (and probably is) your problem. It's a very low-end food, with very minimal nutritional value. Anything that you can find in a grocery store, wal-mart, etc. isn't a quality food at all. My dogs used to be on Nutro (which also isn't great), and since we've switched to higher end foods (Canidae and Orijen), their shedding has decreased tremendously.
If you can locate them, I'd recommend the following brands:
- Canidae (www.canidae.com)
- California Natural (www.naturapet.com)
- Innova (www.naturapet.com)
- Eagle Pack Holistic (www.eaglepack.com)
There are more out there, but those seem to be the most well tolerated by my dogs and those of friends. All of those sites have store locators on them. You won't find quality food in most chain petstores and you will pay more for the food, but it should last you longer and your dog will be much healthier.
